Cleaning - Important!
The single most important thing that you can do to keep your Legend working as if it
were new is to keep it clean! Five minutes once a day will keep the residue and
debris from building up and causing problems. There is virtually no maintenance
required for your Legend if you KEEP IT CLEAN!
Exhaust
Make sure the exhaust blower you are using receives proper maintenance.
Periodically clean the exhaust blower and duct system to remove built-up debris. If
you detect odor while engraving, or if the smoke in the cabinet is visible in the area of
the lens carriage, inspect the exhaust system. Check for loose or broken pipe/hose
connections, or obstructions. Many blowers are belt driven, and the belts will wear
with time.
Bearings
The bearing system on the Legend should be cleaned about once a week depending
on use. Use a soft cloth and some alcohol or similar mild solvent. Using the drawing
on the next page, clean each of the bearing tracks as shown. A cotton swab is perfect
for cleaning out the inside of the grooved tracks. About once every three months, you
should lubricate the bearings. Using the lubricant Syringe from your accessory kit,
apply a thin bead of grease on the bearings shown in the diagram on the next page.
Each bearing has two grease points. The grease should go down inside the small
groove on each side of the bearing.
